Application filed September 5, 1887. Serial No. 248,912. (No model.)

To ail whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB KRUMSOHEID, of Boston, in the county ofSuffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a. new and use- InFig. l, A A and O 0 represent the end pieces, which are riveted at D D,respectively, to each other, as shown. The folding pieces B B are joinedat the ends and also in the middle, so that theparts A A, C G, andBBform together the device known as lazytongs. The upright pieces E Eform the pointers. These are riveted at their lower ends,as shown, bythe same rivets that serve to connect the lower ends of the foldingparts B B, A, and C. The upper ends of the uprights are each made with aslot, M M, in which the rivets H H slide. Ths rivets H H are eachprovided with a washer, so as to retain the uprights in place and stillto allow them to slide. One of the uprights is provided with a thumbscrew, K P, and a pointer, N, (see Figs. 1 and 2,) and on the upright towhich the thumb screw and pointer are appended I have a graduation, L,so that the uprights E E E may be placed at any desired distance apartand there securely held.

This device may be used by tailors, carpenters, machinists, &e., for agreat many uses.

I claim The combination of the lazy-tongs A AB B C O with the uprights EE, thumb-screw K P, and pointer N, all operating together, substantiallyas described, and for the purpose set forth.
